Managing director of the National Iranian Gas Export Company (NIGEC), Hossein Bidarmaghz says Pakistan wants to transit Iran's gas and China is eager to import it.
He went on to say that, China's need to natural gas and LNG would be equal Europe's consumption by the end of 2030 adding Iran benefits relative advantage in gas exports in comparison to its rivals Qatar and Russia due to its geographical position that is located between two consumption markets, China and Europe, Iran's SHANA news agency reported.
